Title: Hazard-free microencapsulation for structurally delicate agents, an application of stable aqueous-aqueous emulsion
Inventor: ZHU JIAHAO
IPC: A61K9/113
Filed: 2003-06-03
Abstract: This invention provides method for sustained release delivery of structurally delicate agents such as proteins and peptides. Using a unique emulsion system (Stable polymer aqueous-aqueous emulsion), proteins and peptides can be microencapsulated in polysacchride glassy particles under a condition free of any chemical or physical hazard such as organic solvents, strong interfacial tension, strong shears, elevated temperature, large amount of surfactants, and cross-linking agents. Proteins loaded in these glassy particles showed strong resistance to organic solvents, prolonged activity in hydrated state, and an excellent sustained release profile with minimal burst and incomplete release when being further loaded in degradable polymer microspheres. This invention provides a simple yet effective approach to address all the technical challenges raised in sustained release delivery of proteins.

Patent CA-2496601-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STRAIT JON D
IPC: D06F37/12
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: A washing machine with a self-cleaning spinner top is provided to remove lint and prevent soap scum buildup. The self-cleaning spinner top includes a reservoir and an upper wall. A water inlet routes a portion of incomming water to the spinner top's reservoir. This water is retained until a spin cycle begins. During a spin cycle, centrifugal force extracts the water in the reservoir, causing it to flow over the upper wall to an outer tub. A deflector on top of the outer tub ensures no water escapes and routes the water to the outer tub. The reservoir water that is extracted during the spin cycle also carries with it any lint or soap particles to prevent a build up condition. In this manner, a clean spinner top may be maintained.

Title: Using orthogonal waveforms to enable multiple transmitters to share a single cdm channel
Inventor: BUTLER BRIAN K
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1997-04-01
Abstract: A system and method for enabling multiple transmitters (400) to share a single code division multiplexed (CDM) or code division multiple access (CDMA) channel using orthogonal waveforms. A set of orthogonal channelizing codes W i(t) is generated, and each transmitter (400) is allocated orthogonal channelizing codes and pseudonoise polynomials in a predetermined manner. The transmitters channelize each user signal using an orthogonal channelizing code W i(t), and spread each user signal using a pseudonoise (PN) spreading code. Each transmitter employs the same PN spreading codes and time off-sets. Additionally, no one orthogonal channelizing code is assigned to more than one transmitter during the time period they are sharing a CDM channel. The spread signals are summed at each transmitter (404) prior to transmission as a composite signal. The offsets are time-precorrected (406, 510) to ensure time alignment at the receivers. The frequencies of the signals are precorrected (408, 512) to ensure frequency alignment at the receivers.

Title: Trans-membrane-antibody induced inhibition of apoptosis
Inventor: BROWN THOMAS L
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 2004-03-05
Abstract: Cell suicide (apoptosis) is associated with pathogenesis, for example, it is the major cause for the loss of neurons in Alzheimer's disease. Caspase-3 is critically involved in the pathway of apoptosis. Superantibody (SAT)-trans-membrane technology has been used to produce antibodies against the caspase enzyme in an effort to inhibit apoptosis in living cells. The advantage of using trans-membrane antibodies as apoptosis inhibitors is their specific target recognition in the cell and their lower toxicity compared to conventional apoptosis inhibitors. It is shown that a MTS-transport-peptide modified monoclonal anti-caspase-3 antibody reduces actinomycin D-induced apoptosis and cleavage of spectrin in living cells. These results indicate that antibodies conjugated to a membrane transporter peptide have a therapeutic potential to inhibit apoptosis in a variety of diseases.
